in 2014, CNA issued €70M in debt securities to finance motorway concession-holders’ investments.
At the same time, it repaid close to €1.5 bn on matured bonds.
The reduction of the establishment’s debt thus continued in 2014, ending the year
with €7.65 bn in liabilities, this being at the same level as the end of the 80s.
The funding needs for the year were covered first by a new bond issue. in keeping
with its policy of tapping its lines, CNA tapped its ‘3.75 % - 2025’ line for the fourth time
since it was issued in July 2005, this time drawing €45M; its current liabilities now stand
at €643.26M.

CNA now accounts for more than 17% of total debt as at 31 december 2014,
are allowed recourse to the establishment to finance and, as needed, refinance their investments.
however, these new transactions should not disrupt the process of amortising current debt, at an

organisation
and missions
Created in 1963, the Caisse nationale des autoroutes (CNA) is a
financially independent public administrative institution whose
mission is to raise finance for motorway concession-holders to
build and develop toll motorways. To do this, it issues loans on
the French and international markets and contracts loans from
selected financial institutions.
general presentation oF the cna
organisation and missions
• FinanCing proCedures
The CNA is governed by Articles R 122-6 to R 122-15 of the
French road system code (Code de la voirie routière), which
contain the provisions of decree n° 63-585 of 20 June 1963
amended by decrees n° 68-972 of 5 November 1968 and
n° 86-910 of 30 July 1986.
The CNA is a financially independent institution, and it receives
no funding from the government budget. It has a Board of
Directors which discusses the budget, the accounts and the
loans programme; its administration, accounting and financial
management are dealt with by the Caisse des dépôts, under the
control of the Board of Directors, under conditions fixed
by a contract between the two institutions.
Every year, within the terms of its mission, the CNA implements
the loan programme drawn up in close collaboration with the
supervisory ministries and eligible motorway concessionholders (SCA). The financial resources collected are distributed
as loans among the eight companies:
• Autoroutes Paris-Rhin-Rhône (APRR);
• la société des Autoroutes Rhône-Alpes (AREA);
• Autoroutes du Sud de la France (ASF);
• Autoroutes et Tunnel du Mont-Blanc (ATMB);
• la société des autoroutes Estérel, Côte-d’Azur,
Provence, Alpes (ESCOTA);
• la Société des autoroutes du nord et de l’est
FinanCing
proCedures
Once the financing needs of the companies are determined,
the concession-holders and the CNA together draw up a loan
programme. The priority is to determine a maturity schedule
that takes into account each company’s future capacity
to reimburse the loan.
The loan programme consists mainly of bond issues.
The CNA’s years of experience, its status, and the volume
and consistency of its issue programmes, make it a recognised
player in the euro primary bond market. A bond operation
generally involves several companies. Its loans, issued without
any State guarantee since 1991, are rated AA by Fitch Ratings
and by Standard & Poor’s1.
Further, the CNA and the European Investment Bank (EIB)
are linked by long-term financing agreements assigned
to the construction of sections of motorway that were of use
to the European Union as a whole and to programmes
to improve sections of motorway that were already in service.
Depending on the progress of works that have benefited from
these financing agreements, the National Motorway Fund (CNA)
draws on funds from the EIB in the form of loan contracts.
The duration, rate of interest and currency of these loans are
negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
The CNA also benefits from loans from the Caisse des dépôts in
the framework of new uses for national savings funds.
In 2004, a budget of 3.5 billion euros was made available
to finance large-scale transport infrastructure work.
Given the nature of motorway company investments,
the CNA seeks to raise funds with maturities of over 10 years
and in euros, to avoid any exchange rate risks.
de la France (Sanef);
• la Société des Autoroutes Paris-Normandie (SAPN);
• la Société Française du Tunnel Routier du Fréjus (SFTRF).
The loan contracts between CNA and the companies define
the reciprocal obligations of the two parties, in particular
the obligation of the beneficiaries to repay CNA at scheduled
instalment dates. What is more, the CNA pays out to
the companies the whole of the sums collected, under the same
conditions of interest rates and maturity. Consequently, the
institution does not report an accounting result.

As part of the extension of the revision of the outlook for France, Standard and Poor’s
confirmed the long term AA rating for the CNA on 14th October 2014 but revised its
outlook from stable to negative. Following the deterioration of France’s rating,
the CNA rating was downgraded to AA with a stable outlook on 17th December 2014
by Fitch Ratings.

1981-1993
restructuring anD introDuction
of an equalization mechanism
Economic conditions began seriously to deteriorate
in 1973, which prompted the authorities to restructure
the motorway system. The State took over the loss-making
private companies (APEL, ACOBA and AREA) and created
a mechanism for allocating resources equally between
the semi-public operating companies. This mechanism
was managed by a public authority called “Autoroutes
de France” (ADF) created in 1983.
general presentation oF the cna
History
SANEF and APEL merged as SANEF at the end of 1985,
which brought the total number of operating companies
to ten, of which nine were SEM (including ATMB which
was not funded by the CNA).
In 1987, the government decided to strengthen
the semi-public companies by an injection of equity capital.
At the same time, it abolished the cash advances that had been
necessary to launch the construction of the motorway network.
1955-1969
start of the motorway system
anD formation of the first
semi-public operating companies
The Act of 18 April 1955 on the status of motorways enabled
the French government to hand over the constructionand
operation of sections of motorway to companies in which
the French state was a majority stakeholder.
The Fréjus French Road Tunnel Company (SFTRF)
was created in 1962 and became the concession-holder
of the Fréjus tunnel in 1974. The company then went
on to hold the concession for the A 42 motorway, known
as the “Maurienne Motorway”.
The State, which had been the majority owner of these
two companies’ equity, sold its holdings to the public fund
for the development of an inter-modal transport policy
in the Alps, by a decree issued on 7 May 2012.
Five semi-public companies were formed in this period
between 1956 and 1963:
• la Société de l’autoroute Estérel / Côte-d’Azur, Alpes (ESCOTA)
en 1956;
• la Société des Autoroutes du Sud de la France (ASF,
ex SAVR) en 1957;
• la Société des Autoroutes Paris-Rhin-Rhône (SAPRR,
ex SAPL) en 1961;
• la Société des Autoroutes Paris-Normandie (SAPN) en 1963;
• la Société des Autoroutes du Nord et de l’Est de la France
(SANEF) en 1963.
The Société du Tunnel routier sous le Mont-Blanc (STMB),
was created in 1958, with the French government as the
major shareholder. This company had held the concession
for the Mont-Blanc road tunnel since 1959. It was renamed
the Société des Autoroutes et du Tunnel du Mont-Blanc
(ATMB), and in 1977 obtained the concession for
the “l’Autoroute Blanche” the A 40.
On 1 January 1991, the Société de l’autoroute
de la Côte-Basque (ACOBA) merged with the Société
des Autoroutes du Sud de la France (ASF), to form
a single company called ASF.
In 1992, ADF acquired a 49% stake in SFTRF. At the end
of this period, some of the operating companies had
reimbursed the whole of the advances granted by the State,
as the increase in toll income had enabled them to achieve
a cash-flow surplus.
This situation highlighted the difference in the companies’
financial situations. A reform of the motorway system
became necessary given that the Government was committed
to speeding up the motorway construction programme
as of 1994.
1970-1980
Deregulation of the motorway
system anD formation of private
operating companies
In 1970, the French government decided to grant concessions
to private companies, composed of civil engineering contractors
and banks. Four such private companies were formed,
between 1970 and 1973:
• la Compagnie Financière et Industrielle des Autoroutes
(COFIROUTE);
• la Société des Autoroutes Rhône-Alpes (AREA);
• la Société de l’Autoroute de la Côte-Basque (ACOBA);
• la Société des Autoroutes Paris-Est-Lorraine (APEL).
Moreover, the semi-public companies (SEM) were given
greater responsibility, in particular with regard to road
construction.
1994
the reform of 1994
The Government decision to speed up the progress
of the motorway master plan made it necessary to adapt
the structure of the semi-public motorway operating
companies, and to redefine the relations between
the State and the motorway sector. The reform centred
on two objectives:
a) To ensure the financial solidarity and soundness
of the SEMCA by their recapitalization and the creation
of three evenly balanced regional operating units
The six largest SEMCA (AREA, ASF, SAPRR, ESCOTA,
SAPN, and SANEF), whose share capital had been capped
at 28 million French francs, had their equity raised to
1.03 billion French francs. The State had a direct 45%
stake in the companies ASF, SAPRR and SANEF. Autoroutes
de France (ADF) held another 45%, with the Caisse des dépôts
at 8.5%. The remainder was held by local entities.
Simultaneously, three regional groups were formed
by making some companies into subsidiaries of the operators
in the strongest financial positions. ASF now holds a 95%
stake in ESCOTA, SANEF holds a 98% stake in SAPN
and SAPRR holds a 97% stake in AREA.
b) To establish contractual relations between
the State and the SEMCA
Five-year planning contracts between the State
and the operating companies stipulate the commitments
of each of the parties with regard to works and investments,
pricing policy, and financial objectives. These agreements
also define management indicators, social and employment
policy, customer service, architectural design and construction
and environmental impact.
The first planning contracts were signed for the period
1995 - 1999. Since then, several planning contracts
have been signed and most of the operating companies
now hold such planning agreements.
2001
the 2001 reform
The motorway financing procedures set up in France
with the Act of 18 April 1955 enabled a modern motorway
network to be constructed with virtually no contribution
from the central government budget. It now has to be reformed
to adapt it to its legal environment and enable it to operate
more effectively in the present political and economic climate.
This is why the reform launched in 2000 has three major
objectives: 1) to intensify competition for the awarding
of new motorway concessions, 2) to provide the motorway
system with the necessary finance to complete the construction
programme and 3) to ensure greater neutrality in the choices
between types of investment and between transport systems.
To achieve these objectives, two series of measures
are being implemented concerning the procedures for
awarding motorway concessions and the operating conditions
of the semi-public motorway concession holders (SEMCA).
1. In order to widen competition and allow new operators
to enter the market, the government put a stop to the so-called
backing system. This system consisted of new sections of motorway
being financed in part by toll income from existing sections operated
by the same company whose concession was extended for
the purpose. In fact, this was no longer compatible with fair
competition between candidates for the award of a new concession,
because it could give an unfair advantage to existing concessionholding companies over new operators.

Now any public funding that might be required for the
financial balance of future motorway concessions is provided in the
form of subsidies. New sections, awarded in compliance with the
provisions of the Works Directive “Travaux”1 replaced in 2004 by the
Markets Directive “Marchés”2 and with the provisions of the Sapin
Act, are covered by a specific contract. This procedure ensures a
more effective comparison to be made between competing bids.
2. Secondly, the SEMCA management conditions
have been aligned with those of private companies in order
to enable them, if applicable, to submit comparable bids
for new motorway projects.
This involves in particular phasing out the advantages they enjoy
(State guarantee to take over any liabilities outstanding
at the end of the concession, specific accounting practices
for depreciations and loss carry forwards, and no return
on invested capital). In exchange, the SEMCA have had their
concessions extended so that they now match the longer
concessions granted to operators from the private sector.
Given the implications of the reform, the French authorities
had decided to consult with the European Commission
on the reform methods, and in particular on the principle
of extending the length of SEMCA concessions. In a report
of 24 October 2000, the Commission announced that it would
raise no objection to the French Government’s planned reform of
the motorway concession operating plan.
After this consultation procedure, the French government
introduced the domestic legal provisions necessary for
implementing the motorway reform.
Act n° 2000-1 of 3 January 2001, published in the Official
Journal of 4 January 2001, authorized the French Government to
transpose community directives by ordinances.
This enabled the Government to introduce measures
to modernize the motorway operating system.
Ordinance n° 2000-273 of 28 March 2001 concerning
the reform of SEMCA operations defined the new terms
of SEMCA concession contracts as they had been notified
to the European Commission. The ordinance said
that the extensions would be effective for drawing up
the 2000 accounts, so as to apply the accounting reform
to the 2000 accounts.
This ordinance was ratified by Act n° 2001-1011
of 5 November 2001.

successive opening up
of capital
of some companies
It is in this context that the legal and financial system
of the SEMCA was adapted to common company law.
The French government then announced, on 16 October 2001,
that ASF capital would be opened for investment in a minority
interest, along with its initial public offering IPO.
This first operation of its type consisted of transferring
to the market the majority of shares held by ADF in ASF capital,
accompanied by an increase in capital of 800 million euros.
The bids included a retail public offering in France, a global
placement and a bid reserved for employees.
The product of the transfer of ASF shares held by ADF
(1.8 billion euros) was paid back to the State in conformity
with the provisions of Article 34 of the Finance Act for 2002
of 28 December 2001.
Following the operation, ADF still holds 8.84% of ASF capital.
2004
On 29 July 2004, the French government announced
that new shareholders for the Société des Autoroutes
Paris-Rhin-Rhône (APRR) were being sought via a rights issue
under an IPO (initial public offering) on 25 November 2004.
APRR group capital rose to 1,300 million euros, underwritten
by a retail public offering in France and an overall placement
guaranteed open to all investors, French and non-French.
At the same time, an offer reserved for employees was
subscribed for 34 million euros.

3) the consortium composed of Abertis, AXA, Caisse des Dépôts,

respectively published
By this operation, the accumulated holding in APRR capital
by the State and its public institution Autoroutes de France
(ADF) went from 98.92% to 70.22%.
in the Journal officiel of 2 February for Sanef, 20 February

14 803 149 725 €, broken down as follows:
• 9 326 827 816 € for the State
• 5 476 321 909 € for ADF.
2005-2006
These partial privatizations, followed in March 2005
by the partial privatization of the Sanef group, enabled
the major SEMCA to strengthen their financial structure.
They were also able to increase their capacity for distributing
dividends, which was one of the objectives fixed by the French
Government under the CIADT 2003. The dividends paid
to the State were allocated to financing new projects of
nationwide transport infrastructures via the National Agency
for Financing the Transport Infrastructures of France (AFITF)
created by Decree n° 2004-1317 of 26 November 2004.
transfers to the private sector
In a statement made on 18 July 2005, the French Government
announced its decision to wholly privatize the APRR, ASF
and Sanef groups using invitations to tender. Specifications
were published on 22 August 2005. After consulting with the
Commission des participations et des transfers, the Government
The specifications for the transfer contracts were modified along
with the privatization process in order to add the commitments
made by the buyers.The boards of directors
of the three companies confirmed the commitments made
and approved the provisions contained in the amendments,
which were then duly approved by decrees in the Conseil d’État.
For each of the concession-holders, these five-year planning
contracts specify the concession specifications, and they
fix the investments to be made and the service level objectives
to be reached over the 5-year periods. In return for these
arrangements, they also determine the increases in toll rates
to be implemented over the period.
Bearing this in mind, the companies Sanef and Cofiroute have
a planning contract for the 2010-2014 period, likewise
the companies ASF and Escota for the 2012-2016 period, as well
as the companies APRR and AREA for the 2014-2018 period.

it must be stressed from the outset that the French motorway system is essentially
founded on the principle of conceding the construction and operation of motorways. under
this system, the concession-holders are responsible for the construction, operation and
maintenance of the infrastructures, in return for taking toll incomes to cover the operational
expenses and the depreciation of the loans necessary for financing the construction work.
This principle was profoundly shaken in 2006. Of the eight semi-public companies holding
motorway concessions which historically had turned to the CNA financing system for their
investments, six have been completely privatized. Since the end of the privatisation process,
initiated in July 2005 and finalised during the first quarter of 2006, the French motorway
system has comprised 17 concession-holders: 15 fully private companies and two publicprivate entities, the majority of whose equity is in the hands of the public fund for the
development of an inter-modal transport policy in the Alps.

that are now private to have used the CNA system to finance
their investments; their outstanding debt with the CNA on
31 December 2013 was e7.590 billion (i.e. 84.63% of the total
outstanding debt).
In accordance with commitments made during their respective
partial privatizations in March 2002, November 2004 and March
20057, the ASF, APRR and Sanef groups have gradually left the
CNA system.
So the ASF/ESCOTA and APRR/AREA and Sanef/SAPN groups
have no longer been able to use CNA loans since year-end
2005, year-end 2008 and year-end 2009 respectively.

For deVelopment
For all of the SEMCA and ex-SEMCA linked to the CNA,
the total pre-tax turnover in 2014 not including construction
service provisions came to 7.4 billion euros.
For the only privatized SCA in early 2006 and the two tunneling
SEMCA which remain public, the outlook on future fiscal years
is as follows:
This is an increase of 3% compared to 2013.
Investments should be showing their impact in the completion
of the latest major projects, which will enable the networks
of long-term motorway companies to come to maturity and
landscaping to be carried out to minimize the environmental
impact of the motorway.
lOAN pAyMENTS
The loan repayments rose to 1.516 billion euros in 2014,
confirming the gradual reduction of the SEMCAs’ debt
toward CNA.
The volume of investments should be an expression
of the motorway network’s gradual maturation.
However, the democratization of new technologies
is pushing concession-holders to invest in increasingly
innovative operating systems in order to improve the quality
of service offered.
In respect of the two tunnel SEMCAs, the SFTRF is presently i
n a planning contract period which means they can enjoy good
visibility of their investments up till 2016, whereas the ATMB
company’s contract came to an end at the close of 2014 and
is presently negotiating with the State with a view to concluding
a new contract for the 2015-2019 period.
It is worth noting that most of the latest new large construction
projects in progress or to come will not affect the CNA.
Most of these construction projects should be carried out
by ad hoc companies named after tender procedures.
These companies are not eligible for the CNA, so these
new projects should have no impact on outstanding CNA
debt which is set to go down gradually.
At the same time, the increase in tolls and traffic should
continue to improve the turnover of long-term concessionholders, this also taking into account the 2.0% upturn in
highway traffic noted in 2014, to ensure that interest charges
and repayment of the CNA debt are covered.

2014
The upturn has in fact continued in the US, with GDP at 2.4%
(the highest since 2010). This is pulled along by household
demand and the acceleration of productive investment. The
employment market has continued to improve as far as job
creation is concerned, with unemployment down to 5.7% (the
lowest since mid-2008). Low inflation that is trending at around
0.8% was magnified in the second part of the year by the
reduced price of oil and other primary materials. The Federal
Reserve has been gradually bringing to an end its purchasing
of securities, though it has remained very cautious in the face
of low inflation levels and the global slowdown, leaving its rates
unchanged.
In Asia, the Japanese recovery was short-lived and did not
weather the VAT increase at the beginning of the year. GDP fell
by 0.03% in 2014 in the wake of a drop in consumption (-1.2%).
However the decline was tempered by foreign trade that
benefited from the drop in the Yen. Taking this into account,
the increase in inflation to 2.8% (the highest since 1992)
continues to be linked to the increase in VAT as well as the
price of imported prices rather than to increased wages.
0.7%
In France, growth was slightly up in 2014 to 0.4% (0.3%
in 2012 and 2013), supported by public spending and
consumption. Alongside this, investment fell by 1.7% in
the year, with an adjustment marked by property investment.
The drop in oil prices kept household purchasing power
afloat at the end of the year, but the Euro’s drop did not
prevent there being a negative foreign trade contribution
to growth, so the weakness of the nominal growth impacted
on State revenues, increasing the deficit to -4.4% of GDP
(as against -4.1% in 2013).
2014 was marked by a further reduction in risk premiums
in Europe in relation to both credit and peripheral European
governments. The announcements made at the end of the year
by the ECB relating to a potential extension of the sovereign
debt purchasing programme leant greater magnitude
to the movement of the lowering of the risk premiums
across all governments. The rates reached historic lows
at the end of the year dropping to 0.54% on the 10 year German
market, 0.82% on the 10 year French market, 1.61%
on the 10 year Spanish market and 1.98% on the 10 year
Italian one. Alongside this, there was – broadly speaking –
a levelling out of rate curves. The divergence of monetary
policy on both sides of the Atlantic has, on the other hand,
manifested itself as a net drop of the Euro against the dollar
(-12.82%). European shares – with a rise of barely 1.2%
on the Eurostoxx 50 – continued to recede in comparison
to American shares (+11.4% at S&P).

The recovery in the Eurozone continues to be weak, with a GDP
of 0.9%. This increase is buoyed by Germany (+1.6%), whereas
the recessions in Italy and Finland are ongoing. Growth has
been pulled forwards by foreign trade against a background
of a Euro that is falling, whilst household demand has grown
by 0.9%. Budgetary adjustments have continued to be made,
but these have not impacted as heavily on growth as was
the case during the past three years. Generally speaking,
this fragile growth has generated neither an upturn in credit
nor an increase in inflation – on the contrary, inflation
dropped significantly, finishing in negative territory at -0.2%
in December. The same goes for Spain where the figure is
-1.1%, with Italy at -0.1% and Portugal at -0.3%. In the face
of the weak growth and the enhanced risk of deflation,
the Central European Bank reduced its key rates in June
and in September to 0.05%. As far as non-conventional
methods are concerned, the Bank has launched a share
purchase programme (ABS instruments and secured bonds).
In November, the Bank also opened the door to an extension
of this project to sovereign debts.

global growth has been less pronounced than expected,
with emerging countries showing a downturn in performance.
The reorientation of Chinese growth towards a model
sustained by domestic demand has manifested itself through
a gdp that is 7.3% down (the lowest since 2009) and a reduced
demand for primary materials, contributing to a slowdown
in worldwide asset exchanges. bearing this in mind,
OpEC has not reduced its production quotas, which has
accentuated the drop in oil prices which have reduced
by half. The primary material exporting countries also
suffered considerably in the second half-year following
the increasing recession in russia and the fall in production
in brazil. Finally, growth has been pulled forward
by the uSA and the uk, where households have benefited
from enhanced buying power linked to oil and to monetary
policies that continue to be very accomodating.

APRIL 2014 – JULY 2025
Motorway investments are financed by the CNA for the most
part on the bond market; in addition, long-term financing
agreements have been signed with the European investment
bank for the partial financing of motorway projects or
programmes of improvement work on the existing network.
The SCA wanted to smooth out their debt maturities depending
on their repayment capabilities. In response, the CNA had to
issue over relatively long periods. The amount of the issues is
determined by addition of the financing needs of several SCA.
Given the activity of the companies financed, the natural
market of the CNA is the euro market. Loans are launched
for professional investors with no public offering. They are
quoted on the Stock Exchange; loans in international legal
form are also quoted in Luxembourg.
With the aim of improving liquidity on the secondary market,
the CNA builds lines of reference through successive additional
contributions.
The line of 2013 maturitie, created before 1st January 1999
and redenominated in euros, has an outstanding debt of more
than one billion euros. In 2002, in just one transaction, the CNA
issued a loan of one billion euros on the 2017 maturity and
increased the 2014 line to one billion euros. In 2003, the CNA
issued a bond of 500 million euros on maturity 2018, increased
by €450M in 2004, €300M in 2005, €429M in 2006, €124M
in 2007, €133.6M in 2008 and finally €55.4M in 2009 bringing to
€1.992 billion the outstanding loan on this settlement date.
Finally, the 2005 bond issue in the amount of €336.26M,
maturing in 2025, has been regularly supplemented since 2011
and now represents total liabilities worth close to €650M.
In all, the CNA has presently two lines of an outstanding debt
higher than or equal to one billion euros.
Another result of this issue policy is that the CNA has
one single line with a maturity beyond 2015.
It should be pointed out that the size of credit lines is limited
naturally by the annual capacity to repay of the companies
financed by the CNA. Moreover, as far as possible, new lines
of credit have a minimum outstanding loan of 500 million
euros.
The bond is usually at a fixed rate. However, part of the debt
can be made variable via interest rate swap contracts signed
when certain loans are issued.
The amount of the loans issued in 2014 for motorway
concession-holding companies rose to 70 million euros,
breaking down into:
• €45 million raised on the euro bond market by assimilation
with the existing bond in July 2025; and
• €25 million in the form of a loan contracted with
the European investment bank.

The main central banks have retained an accomodating policy
of low rates. On 7th November 2013, the ECB introduced
a new low of 25 re-financing rate basis points of 0.25%.
In addition to this re-orientation of key rates, there has
also been a non-conventional monetary policy in place
to smooth out inter-bank market dysfunctions (the Outright
Monetary Transactions, the programme of purchasing public
securities, by the European Stability Mechanism the ESM),
and declarations inviting “new shares if necessary”.
These measures have meant that financial tensions that
were impacting the Eurozone have been able to be drastically
reduced: the 10 year OAT rate (Obligation Assimilable du
Trésor, a bond issued by the French State) stood at 2.13%
on 14th March 2014 following a historic low of 1.662%
on 2nd May 2013. Spain and Italy in particular have seen
their borrowing rates return to historically low levels.
Alongside this, the geopolitical context in Syria and the Ukraine has
focussed the attention of the markets. These tensions have provoked
a ‘flight to quality’ movement that has enabled Government and
supranational issuers as well as State agencies of the higher rated
countries to see their bond issues given preferential treatment.
In this context, the loan was issued on the international
market in the form of a block of 45 million euros. This was
assimilated with the CNA 3.75% 2025 line issued in July 2005
for 598.26 million euros. This operation brings this line’s
outstanding debt to 643.26 euros, thus increasing stock equity.
The loan was launched on 1st April, with a yield rate of
2.312% calculated by equivalence at 8 basis points above the
interpolation rate of the curve of the OAT 4.25% 2023 and 6.00%
2025, this being 2.23%. The transaction’s management was
entrusted to Natixis, after a consultation that began on
25 March 2014.
The sale price to investors, corresponding to a yield of 2.312% settling
down at 114.035 % of the nominal rate, with an accrued coupon
of 3.020% on the date of the regulation set out on 5th May 2014.
Some loans taken out by the CNA from the bEi are at
contractually adjustable rates in periods of 4, 5 or 6 years.
